BOTOX® Cosmetic is a quick, non-surgical treatment involving a series of injections to relax the movement of muscles that cause or accentuate wrinkles.
BOTOX blocks the release of a substance called acetylcholine. This reduces muscle activity that causes lines and wrinkles to form.
BOTOX does not affect the nerves responsible for sensation, so there is no numbness or loss of feeling in the treated area.
After BOTOX injections, the skin over the treated muscle becomes smoother, with fewer wrinkles as the muscle relaxes.
